    John Goralka is an excellent lawyer. He was highly recommended by my business partner and he met all my expectations. I met Mr. Goralka when he was doing an Estate Planning presentation to a community group in the East Sacramento area. John has assisted me in completing my Estate Planning and Trust. His staff was very professional, efficient, friendly, and promt at making last minute changes on my trust. I would highly recommend John Goralka to all my family and friends.

    • I recommend John Goralka.
    • I hired John 6-12 months ago.
    • John handled my Trusts matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    John helped me create a living trust for both my family and for my mother's family. He was a pleasure to work with, always available for questions and would give us both the pros and cons to any decisions we needed to make. He was also very helpful in determining what legal course of action we could pursue and what the pros and cons of pursuing that would be when my son broke his neck at a trampoline facility. I highly recommend John Goralka.

John was always honest with us, and worked with us to solve a number of complex problems. His staff is great too. We highly recommend John Goralka.

    Mr. Goralka could tell right away right away that I was lost in the legal world and he was extremly sympathetic and encouraging. Everyone told me from the start that I couldn't win this difficult case, but he never gave up, and did win it. I consider him to be a "Super Hero"
